Answer:

107

Explanation:

First note that this quadrilateral is cyclic.

One property of cyclic quadrilaterals is that opposite angles add up to 180.

since B and D are opposite angles, we can add them and set that to 180. we get that 5x+5=180, so x=35. Now, substituting 37 for x for all the angles, we get

A=73

B=66

D=114

To find C, notice that A and C are opposite angles. This means they add up to 180

73+C=180, C=107
